jacel has gotten me into a game called Improbable Island. I think I'm going to play it for a bit. Even if:
"Your mount has been upgraded! You now ride Son of Budget Horse!
Also you're going to hell!"

That's kind of neat but it's annoying that I had my soul ripped out of my body by the unfathomable power of Stonehenge and now I can't do anything for three hours.

Odd. When I finally found it, Stonehenge gave me four Charm.
And time on the Failboat can be nicely spent building up Favor to add a bonus to your choice of weapon or armor.

I didn't get as far as the Failboat when it zapped me. The only command available was daily news which I thought was a 'check the MoTD while you wait for the next in-game day' and not 'go on to the failboat'. I've since died a couple more times and figured it out a bit more.

I'm pretty sure any improbable event could either be good or bad as determined by random chance.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. An old man just whacked me with the Ugly Stick.

That happened to me the other day, and the Ugly Stick lost one point of charm. ;.;

I'm not sure I'll keep playing. There are certainly some improbable things, but a lot of the game seems to be random pop culture references and an expectation of vulgarity and violence on behalf of the player-character. It's also very time-consuming. ^.^;;

This is a test of the comment-on-your-comment-from-my-own-post emailing thingy of LJ. And also a note of sadness that my time in Oklahoma left my account in ruins. (I wasn't going to play for much longer anyway, but still.)

Thank you! It works fine. <3

Curse the impossibility of editing comments.

Anyway, It's like a browser MMO of the BBS game LoRD. It even has the quit to fields option. Lovely.

The software framework it's based on is an homage to loRD, I believe.

It gets worse. :(
